Group ecb-history

This group contains settings for the history-buffer in the ECB:

history-buffer-after-create-hook User Option
Local hook running after the creation of the history-buffer. Every function of this hook is called once without arguments direct after creating the history-buffer of ECB and it's local key-map. So for example a function could be added which performs calls of local-set-key to define new keybindings only for the history-buffer of ECB.

history-buffer-name User Option
Name of the ECB history buffer. Because it is not a normal buffer for editing you should enclose the name with stars, e.g. "*ECB History*".

If it is necessary for you you can get emacs-lisp access to the buffer-object of the ECB-history-buffer by this name, e.g. by a call of set-buffer.

Changes for this option at runtime will take affect only after deactivating and then activating ECB again!

history-item-name User Option
The name to use for items in the history buffer.

history-menu-sorter User Option
Function which re-sorts the menu-entries of the directories buffer.

If a function then this function is called to sort the menu-entries of the combined menu-entries of the user-menu-extensions of ecb-history-menu-user-extension and the built-in-menu ecb-history-menu. If nil then no special sorting will be done and the user-extensions are placed in front of the built-in-entries.

For the guidelines for such a sorter-function see ecb-directories-menu-sorter.

history-menu-user-extension User Option
Static user extensions for the popup-menu of the history buffer. For further explanations see ecb-directories-menu-user-extension.

The node-argument of a menu-function contains as data the filename of the source for which the popup-menu has been opened.

Per default the static user-extensions are added at the beginning of the built-in menu-entries of ecb-history-menu but the whole menu can be re-arranged with ecb-history-menu-sorter.

history-menu-user-extension-function User Option
Dynamic user extensions for the popup-menu of the history buffer. A function which has to return a list in the same format like the option ecb-history-menu-user-extension. This function is called when the user opens the popup-menu for the history buffer.

Per default the dynamic user-extensions are added in front of the static extensions of ecb-history-menu-user-extension but the whole menu can be re-arranged with ecb-history-menu-sorter.

kill-buffer-clears-history User Option
Define if kill-buffer should also clear the history. There are three options:
  • auto: Removes automatically the corresponding history-entry after the buffer has been killed.
  • ask: Asks, if the history-entry should be removed after the kill.
  • nil: kill-buffer does not affect the history (this is the default).

sort-history-items User Option
Sorts the items in the history buffer.
